[Solved] How to add the value of all the objects?

by


In rare cases the thing that you want could be reasonably, but normally the class is not aware of all it’s elements. A total Score is for a Collection of Score elements, maybe a List or a Set.

So you would do:

class Score {
  int value;
  // ...
  public static int totalScore(Collection<Score> scores){ 
    int sum = 0;
    for (Score s: scores){
      sum += s.value;
    }
    return sum;
  }
}

And outside you would have

List<Score> myBagForScores = new ArrayList<>();
Score e1 = new Score...
myBagForScores.add(e1);
// e2, e3 and so on
int sum = Score.totalScore(myBagForScores);

Hope that helps!
